got my n900 in July/2011 - as a birthday-present of my sons;
they had heard me praising its incredible specs starting beginning of 2010; it was too expensive for me then.
I had (still have) an LG GW620 - because of the hw-keyboard.

In spite of having grown old now (the n900 - and me too ... I'm 58 ) I still think, that the n900 is a good device ... with the exception of the micro-usb port problem (which is still threatening / becoming imminent).

I am a user, not a tinker; did some very basic command-prompt commands ( in some projects where I was an IT-project manager or -analyst) every now and then, but have to consider myself a definitive NOOB concerning real linux- (maemo, ...) experience.

have been lurking about in the forum sporadically since I started to use the n900 (at the moment only via WIFI). Have not made it my phone yet (replacing the LG completely) because of some regularly used features (contact groups, etc.) not available under maemo.

Hello guys. I registered before an hour..... i have a problem. I cant install prey on my n900. i have put prey folder on root/share and after i cant open it with x terminal. I write sudo gainroot, after i write INSTALLER.sh but nothing. Do you think i have done a mistake somewhere in the folders?????please help me!

Hello!
I bought a black N9 64gb. back in December from another country since I couldn't wait and had a good friend hand carry it back. I've been using Nokia products since the 2110i but really became a fan
upon the N9 announcement and reading up on Hildon and how spotty Nokia support for Maemo has been through the years.
